Final Agenda | Meeting Presentations, Slides and Photo Gallery Life Course Concept Paper | 75th Anniversary Video
Since its inception, the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Services Block Grant (Title V of the Social Security Act) has provided a foundation for ensuring the health of our Nation's mothers and children.
For an excellent overview of the TItle V MCH Block Grant, download AMCHP's commemorative booklet Celebrating the Legacy, Shaping the Future which includes information about Title V, AMCHP, and state and territorial MCH programs.
With the passing of the Social Security Act in 1935, the Federal Government, through Title V, pledged its support of State efforts to extend health and welfare services for mothers and children. This landmark legislation resulted in the establishment of State departments of health or public welfare in some States, and facilitated the efforts of existing agencies in others.
Over the years, the achievements of Title V-supported projects have been integrated into the ongoing care system for children and families. Landmark projects have produced guidelines for child health supervision from infancy through adolescence; influenced the nature of nutrition care during pregnancy and lactation; recommended standards for prenatal care; identified successful strategies for the prevention of childhood injuries; and developed health safety standards for out-of-home child care facilities.
Although Title V has been frequently amended over the years, the underlying goal has remained constant: continued improvement in the health, safety, and well-being of mothers and children.1

text: you need to come off everything and begin hcg and arimadex. I would use arimadex at 1/2mg 3 x wk and hcg at 250iu twice wk every wk and attempt to restore any natural test I could. The adex and hcg should help elevate sperm count and natural test over time. I would also use clomid at 100mg/ day for a couple wks and then drop to 50mg day for 2 more wks after you quit everything. Its going to take awhile, possibly a year before you are fertile again. Even on trt there is still a 50% chance of being fertile, but the choice to come off totally or stay on trt depends on how long you have been on trt up until now. If its been a year then Id attempt to drop everything, if its been longer then Id revert to a minimum trt dose of 80-100mg wk and continue on hcg arimadex regimen. U really need a fertility specialist though but for now this is what Id do personally

What is Freemasonry really all about?
One of the most unrecognized and least known facts about Freemasonry is its Jewish origins and nature. The religion called 'Judaism', codified in the Babylonian Talmud and the Kabbalah, forms the basis for the doctrines, rituals, and symbols of Masonry. The secret god of both Freemasonry and Judaism is Satan-Lucifer.
Albert Pike
Albert Pike, the Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite from 1859 to 1891, is one of the most honored and influential Freemasons of all time. The Supreme Council exalts Pike by saying:
"Albert Pike remains today an inspiration for Masons everywhere. His great book Morals and Dogma endures as the most complete exposition of Scottish Rite philosophy. He will always be remembered and revered as the Master Builder of the Scottish Rite." (The House of the Temple of the Supreme Council, 1988) [1]
Pike's book Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is one of the most authoritative works on Freemasonry.
Pike's "Morals and Dogma" - The Origin of Freemasonry is Jewish Occultism
In Morals and Dogma, Pike admits that the source of Freemasonry's doctrines ultimately goes back to the Kabbalah, a Jewish book of occult knowledge:
"All truly dogmatic religions have issued from the Kabalah and return to it; everything scientific and grand in the religious dreams of all the Illuminati, Jacob Boeheme, Swedenborg, Saint Martin, and others, is borrowed from the Kabalah: all Masonic associations owe to it their Secrets and their Symbols." (Morals and Dogma, p 744)
Pike: The God of Freemasonry/Judaism is Lucifer
In Morals and Dogma, Pike asserts that Lucifer is the "light" of Freemasonry:
"Lucifer, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!" (Morals and Dogma, p. 321)
On July 14, 1889 Albert Pike issued instructions to the twenty-three Supreme Councils that gave a full exposition of his doctrines and beliefs. Pike stated:
"That which we must say to the crowd is - We worship a God, but it is the God that one adores without superstition.
To you Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, we say this, that you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees - The Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine....Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also God." (Occult Theocrasy, p.220-221), [Edith Starr Miller, The Christian Book Club of America] [1]
Masonic Symbolism and Ritual is Principally of Jewish Origin
RIGHT: Royal Arch Mason Jewel [2]
JEWISH ENCYCLOPEDIA, 1903, Vol. 5, page 503: "The technical language, symbolism, and rites of Masonry are full of Jewish ideas and terms. In the Scottish rite, the dates of all the official documents are given according to the Hebrew month and the Jewish era; and use is made of the older forms of the Jewish alphabet." [3]
Thus, authoritative Jewish sources recognize that practically the whole Masonic ritual is of Jewish origin.
Freemasonry & Solomon's Temple
The Freemasons are obsessed with King Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, from which they borrow much of their symbolism and legends, especially those surrounding Hiram. Solomon was the Israelite king noted as the builder of the First Temple in Jerusalem as well as his deep involvement in the occult. The six-pointed star or hexagram that is now the symbol of Judaism is a powerful occult symbol, and was used by Solomon to give him power over demons. Because of this, it was known as the Seal of Solomon, before being given the false moniker "the Star of David."
Freemasonry/Judaism has always planned to gain control of the Temple Mount so they can rebuild Solomon's Temple. Once this Temple is rebuilt, the stage is set for their 'Masonic Christ' to appear and rule the world from Jerusalem. [4]
Masonry was founded by King Herod Agrippa with other 8 Jewish Founders in 43 A.D.
According to a Jew named G.S.Lawrence, who claimed to be in possession of a Hebrew copy of the true history of Masonry, its origin is almost 2000 years old, going back to King Herod Agrippa, an Edomite Jew and grandson of King Herod the Great.
"It was founded by King Herod Agrippa at the suggestion of Hiram Abiud, with the consent of Moab Levy, Adoniram, Johanan, Jacob Abdon, Antipas, Solomon Aberon, and Ashad Abia in the year 43 A.D. The original name of the ideology was the "Mysterious Force." All its founders belonged to Judaism." [5]
Rabbi Isaac Wise - "Freemasonry is a Jewish establishment"
The well known rabbi, Isaac Mayer Wise, emphatically stated:
"Freemasonry is a Jewish establishment, whose history, grades, official appointments, passwords, and explanations are Jewish from beginning to end."
Another Admission - The Jewish Tribune
The Jewish Tribune of New York, on October 28, 1927, stated:
"Masonry is based on Judaism. Eliminate the teachings of Judaism from the Masonic Ritual and what is left?"
"A Catholic Dictionary" by William E. Addis and others from 1960 states the following:
"A recent French writer maintains that Freemasonry is -- unknown to most of the craft -- managed by five or six jews, who bend its influence in every possible way to the furtherance of the anti-Christian movement that passes under the name of Liberalism." [6]
Freemasonry a quasi-political forum for jews to influence and train 'goy' henchmen
Prior to the founding of Freemasonic Lodges in Europe, jews in most Western European nations were by-and-large restricted to ghettos and forbidden from participation in almost all social activities of influence in their host nations - especially political. They had to exercise their power and influence in hidden ways.
The Jews created created the Lodges with the platitudes of "the brotherhood of humanity" and "men from every religion coming together with the goal of the common welfare of humanity", and lure in non-jewish men of prominence with promises of "secret knowledge" and as being part of the "good ol boy club." The Lodges act to promote tolerance of jews and allow jews an entrance into society and positions of power, as well as indoctrinate and influence non-jewish men into jewish ideology.
These 'useful idiot goys' are lured in by deception, slowly indoctrinated and brainwashed into Jewish Satanic "new age" doctrines, and finally entrapped by blood oaths from rebelling against the order and exposing it for what it is.
Illuminized Freemasonry
When the Jewish-lead 'Illuminati' was discovered and banished by the Bavarian government in 1784, they merely went underground. They found refuge and re-organized in the Freemasonic Lodges.
The Illuminati used as it's symbols the pyramid and all-seeing eye, which are also used prominently by the Freemasons.
Cabalistic Jews rule the Masonic Lodges
Freemasonry is lead by secretive hierarchical system, with lower level Masons not even knowing the true names and identities of the leading Masons. This extends to the Lodges, where there exist "ruling Lodges" and lower level Lodges.
French polemicist Gougenot de Mousseaux had this to say on the inner and controlling elements of Freemasonry:
"The real chiefs of this immense association of Freemasonry (the few within the innermost circles of initiation), who must not be confounded with the nominal leaders or figure-heads, are mostly Jews, and live in close and intimate alliance with the militant members of Judaism, those, namely, who are the leaders of the Cabalistic section. This èlite of the Masonic association, these real chiefs, who are known to so few even of the initiated, and whom even these few know only under assumed names (noms de guerre) carry on their activities in secret dependence upon the Cabalistic Jews." [7]
Promotion of 'Liberal' New World Order Agenda
Freemasonry promotes humanism, egalitarianism and the "brotherhood of humanity", non-sectarianism (ie, that all religions are good), and "tolerance". It advances the idea of a "new world order" in which all races, cultures, and religions merge. One of the most important principles of Freemasonry is a push for the "separation of Church and State", which was designed to remove Christian influence from Western governments (which over history had resulted in forbidding jews from practicing usury, banned them from positions of power and influence in society, and had even banished jews from their host nations).
Masonic Connection to Jewish-lead Revolutionary Outbreaks of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth century
Masons have been heavily involved in the planning and execution of almost all major revolutions and wars in Europe and America from the 18th Century onward -- including the French Revolution, the Communist revolution in Russia, and even the American Revolution.
The Synagogue of Satan
Revelation 2:9: "I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Judahites, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."
Judaism is Satanism - The Ideological Foundation for the 'New World Order' Conspiracy
The religion called "Judaism" is not the religion of the Israelites of the Old Testament, but rather Babylonian occultism. The most "holy" book in the religion of "Judaism" is called the Babylonian Talmud. It teaches that the jews are destined to rule the world, inherit the wealth of the world, and enslave non-jews -- and that only jews are human, with non-jews being "subhuman cattle" who exist only to serve jews. The Talmud espouses vicious hatred for Christians and non-jews, including teaching that "Jesus is in hell, being boiled in hot excrement" and that jews may exploit, rob, and kill non-jews. [more on the Talmud]
The Protocols of The Learned Elders of Zion on Freemasonry
The Protocols are a blueprint for world jewish conquest, and describe Freemasonry as an ideology of their creation and control, used for the purpose of recruiting 'goy' pawns (men of power and importance, such as in politics, police, etc) and influencing them to carry out the world jewish communist/liberal/NWO agenda.
"Meantime, however, until we come into our kingdom, we shall act in the contrary way: we shall create and multiply free masonic lodges in all the countries of the world, absorb into them all who may become or who are prominent in public activity, for these lodges we shall find our principal intelligence office and means of influence. All these lodges we shall bring under one central administration, known to us alone and to all others absolutely unknown, which will be composed of our learned elders. The lodges will have their representatives who will serve to screen the above-mentioned administration of MASONRY and from whom will issue the watchword and program. In these lodges we shall tie together the knot which binds together all revolutionary and liberal elements. Their composition will be made up of all strata of society. The most secret political plots will be known to us and fall under our guiding hands on the very day of their conception. AMONG THE MEMBERS OF THESE LODGES WILL BE ALMOST ALL THE AGENTS OF INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL POLICE since their service is for us irreplaceable in the respect that the police is in a position not only to use its own particular measures with the insubordinate, but also to screen our activities and provide pretexts for discontents, ET CETERA."

VU Games sends word that 2015's Men of Valor: Vietnam for the Xbox is now shipping out to stores:
Men of Valor is an historical action experience that portrays infantry combat during the Vietnam War. Combining the latest Unreal technology with the gameplay expertise of 2015 (developers of the award-winning Medal of Honor: Allied Assault ), the game immerses the player in the humid jungles of Southeast Asia in the most controversial conflict of the modern era.
Men of Valor follows an African-American Marine through the early stages of the conflict in Vietnam to the Tet Offensive. Touching on the some of the most familiar scenes of the war as they exist in the popular imagination, the player guides his group of fellow soldiers through the hardship and confusion of the battlefield, bonding with them as they do their duty for their country with the heroism and valor typical of the American soldier, but unsung during the turbulent times.
The PC version ships out later this month (October 26th).

Skip to comments.Duchess of Cambridge 'has potential to be the new Jackie O', says Amanda Wakeley
Posted on 04/27/2012 12:53:50 PM PDT by Perdogg
Amanda Wakeley said the Duchess had become such a powerful trend-setter, particularly in the US, that she bore comparison with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the former wife of President John F Kennedy.
I think she really has the potential to become a modern-day Jackie O, she said. She has a big impact on fashion. It always amuses me how much more, despite her being British, how much more the impact is in America.
Whatever she chooses to wear is neat and quite youthful and its always occasion appropriate and thats hard. This is a big role that she has and she always seems to get it right.
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
Who in blazes is Amanda "what's her name?"
Another Jackie O? I don't think that is a compliment.
She just married Prince "what's his name". :-)
And they are right - she can be a fashion trendsetting like Jackie O was in her day way better than the Wookie, no matter how hard the MSM trys to make her be one.
The few times I have seen pictures or video clips of her, she is dressed very elegant and tasteful. She also seems to have manners and handles the high protocol lifesyle of a royal pretty well so far.
Oh Oh! Blackie-O isn't going to be happy about that.
—Oh Oh! Blackie-O isnt going to be happy about that.—
Beat me to it. :-)
So she has the potential to be a low IQ, pliant, trophy-wife for a corrupt political clan looking to bolster their photographic image for political campaigns?
got it!
You sure do have a nasty post about a kid, who is trying to be the wife of a high profile person. She hasn't done one thing to deserve this kind of treatment. Leave her alone and let her live her life.
"Winona's got a big brown beaver" PRIMUS
I think the diss was on Jackie, not the Duchess. (Funny - I was up working and saw the wedding and it was great. But I can't remember her name!)
I'm hanging around this thread though - waiting for photos of her and her sister!
Ms. O could be modeling Bib Overalls.
I'm no fan of Jackie O. but she had something about her.
It is demeaning to The Duchess of Cambridge to not be allowed to be admired for her own grace, deportment, dignity and flawless sense of style,and not because she reminds anyone of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. It is not a compliment to her at all.
And, certainly, it is demeaning to the memory of Jackie, when someone like Michelle is compared to her. Michelle Obama has no grace, her style is modeled after the street walkers in Chicago, her clothes give us a vulgar view of her body parts, and she is anything but ladylike.
For goodness sake, we need to stop this constant comparison. These women are who they are, for better or worse. Must they always be compared to a memory?
Jackie O always came off as kind of a dim bulb to me.
Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis would be eighty-three this year.
Can we stop comparing women of today to her? It's time to give it a rest.
I'm surprised Ms O hasn't been offered the Jr. Samples
Cotton Fashion gig
They are building her up to rip her down. Poor girl.

text: Gastric (stomach) cancer Gastric cancer is a cancer that grows in the lining of the stomach. Patients with a history of smoking, alcohol use, heavy nitrate foods, exposure to toxins and a family history of gastric cancer are at increased risk for developing gastric cancer. Early gastric cancer often does not cause pain or symptoms, although mild abdominal (stomach) pain, nausea or heartburn may be present. Other signs and symptoms include decreased appetite, weight loss and quickly feeling full after eating. Later, there may be bleeding in the stomach that can lead to blood in the stool (bowel movements), vomiting of blood or anemia (due to not enough iron in the blood). Treatment options Treatment of gastric cancer is based upon several factors, including the location in the stomach, size and spread. Once these factors are determined, your doctor may recommend chemotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery to help fight this disease. Chemotherapy involves giving medications that can help decrease the size of the cancer, as well as prevent the cancer from spreading to other areas of the body. Legacy doctors offer proven treatment regimens. We are also involved in national clinical trials. Surgery often requires partial or complete removal of the stomach. Legacy offers minimally invasive techniques that can help speed recovery. Radiation therapy involves giving radiation doses to shrink the cancer. This treatment can help reduce pain and other symptoms. It can also help reduce and control the spread of the cancer in that area. A team of experts Since the treatment of gastric cancer requires input from many different specialists, we have gathered together physicians across specialties who are committed to treatment of this disease. We routinely discuss and develop treatment plans in a patient care conference; this allows us to discuss individual patients with experts in their field to generate a unique treatment plan for each patient. Legacy has particular expertise in treating cancer, including gastrointestinal cancers -- colorectal, liver, gallbladder, bile duct, pancreatic, gastric and esophageal cancers. We offer up-to-date and proven treatment options, including minimally invasive choices, as well as services to support your quality of life during treatment and after. In addition, the specialists at Legacy Medical Group-Gastroenterology in Gresham, at Legacy Mount Hood Medical Center, can diagnose cancers in the gastrointestinal tract. We also coordinate with other gastrointestinal clinics and doctors. Find a gastroenterologist. You're not alone At Legacy Cancer Institute we offer services to support every aspect of your treatment, including your physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being. We offer a range of support services to help you and your family. If you need help just ask us, and we'll help you find the support you need. Our personalized support services begin with our nurse navigators.

One cold night when the moon was dark, three men sat drinking in a shack by the side of a local lane. The shack was hard to see because it was down in a gulch, but it was right beside the road. They were drunks and the whole town knew it. The neighbors had learned to ignore the laughter, shouting, hoots and howls that emanated from the place in the wee hours. Whose home the shack was is hard to say. All sorts of riffraff hung out there. Drivers had to be careful at the dip in the road by the shack's gulch. Often drunks were stumbling about in the road. There seemed to be one snaggletooth, shaggy-bearded old man there the most. I later found out he wasn't so old - only in his forties - at his demise, and in that demise lies a tale - a continuing tale of blood and horror.
I had grown up not too far from this lane, so I knew about the shack. My parents admonished me not to ride my bike by the place - ever! I didn't, but the truth is, this place was part of my childhood landscape.
On that cold night, the neighbors had called the sheriff's office - again. The revelers at the shack were fighting and there were some awful and chilling sounds. By the time the sheriff's department arrived, all had fallen quiet, deathly quiet.
The first deputy on the porch slipped and fell down on the slick planks. He put his hand on the porch floor to rise and noticed it was covered with a thick, sticky, slick substance. He shined his flashlight on his hand. It was black blood.
I remember the stories, some from one of the deputies actually there, of what happened next. The two deputies yelled for the inhabitants to come out. This was the standard procedure for the shack and its inhabitants. No one wanted to get too close to the drunks. Sometimes they were combative and sometimes they had weapons. On this night there was no reply, but after calling again they heard a gurgling sound, accompanied by a moan. The deputies radioed for back-up and proceeded. They carefully made their way to the front door, covering each other. From the open, dark door exuded the stale odor of old booze and a sickly sweet, salty smell that reminded one of the deputies of the way it smells when fish bed or the smell of a hog slaughter.
The first deputy on the porch slipped and fell down on the slick planks. He put his hand on the porch floor to rise and noticed it was covered with a thick, sticky, slick substance. He shined his flashlight on his hand. It was black blood. He shined the flashlight into the shack and what he saw changed him. All the guys at the department said he was never the same again.
Other units arrived and more lights probed the darkness of the shack. The shabby and broken furniture glistened darkly with blood. Three figures lay sprawled about the interior, including the snaggletooth, shaggy bearded man. It was uncertain whose moan they had heard because all three were now dead. Their throats were all gashed and raggedly slashed by broken bottles. One had the neck of a broken liquor bottle sticking from the side of his throat. Another was nearly decapitated. Several of the deputies and other officials became ill at the sight and the smell.
The final report of the incident stated that apparently the three men had gotten into a brawl, possibly over an old hag of a woman that frequented the shack to drink and do whatever, and killed each other. That was based on rumor. The presumption was the last one left standing succumbed to his massive wounds after the others had, with that final moan. It was altogether possible that someone else might have killed them and fled. There never was any evidence to support that. The woman was not to be found for questioning and was never seen again.
The authorities boarded the old shack up. I remember finally riding my bicycle by the shack and looking at this place of horror with morbid fascination. Within a year, it mysteriously burned to ashes one dark, cold night.
But, that was not the end.
As is so often with horrible events, the very virulence of the evil embeds itself onto, or into, the surroundings. That is the way of evil: it taints a place and salts the soil so nothing good comes of it, then it advertises.
Immediately, even before the house burned down, the sheriffs department startled to get calls from the same area neighbors saying there were sounds coming from the boarded up shack. The neighbors seemed to think that ghoulish teenagers were breaking into the place and partying there. There were rumors of satanic worshippers using the place. Some of the neighbors reported feeling uneasy about the shack, even more so than when its occupants tread the soil as mortals.
It wasn't until after it had burned that people started seeing the lights. Neighbors could see them from the distance, always described as swinging oil lanterns. It just so happened that the shack never did have electricity and that oil lamps were used for lighting. Those driving past the site in cars saw lights down in the gulch by the road.
Then there are the dark figures in the road.
Many people have run through the dark shadows. One had seen four shadows: three men and one woman. He said that he had stopped and watched them "glide about." He noticed that they had eyes - malevolent eyes - and they were staring at him.
Traveling on this lane from north to south, one climbs a slight hill, but once cresting the hill there is a short gradual slope, then a sharp dip in the road. The shack sat aside the west side of the road, somewhere between the crest and the dip. All that area has changed now and it is hard for me to remember the shack's exact location, but those who have lived there seem to know.
"Yep, I saw them bunches of times," says one man who used to live within sight of the spot. "I also knows a whole bunch of folks that has seen them, too! First thing I ever noted that was wrong was that you'd see lights moving through all that scrub brush growing down in that hole by the veterinarian's driveway, across from the old factory. It looked like someone was walking all through that thick brush with some kind of light on a handle like a railroad conductor uses. The light swung as they walked. Yeah, and I seen them in the road, too: them dark figures. There's more than one. I come up over the hill one night and I come down in the dip and there was two black shadows - that's what they looked like, shadows - standing out in the road right smack dab in front of me! I ran right through them, and as I did so I felt this horrible cold feeling go all over me, like goose bumps! There weren't no noise, no thump and no dents and scratches on my car. It was like I run through smoke. And, that happened several times whilst I lived out there in the '70s and '80s. I got kind of used to it, if such a thing be possible."
I've heard this tale, or ones very similar to it, from several people now. Most have not seen the lights, but many people have run through the dark shadows. One I spoke with told me that he had seen four shadows one night: three men and one woman. He said that he had stopped and watched them "glide about," and that after he had watched them for a minute or so, he suddenly noticed that they had eyes - malevolent eyes - and they were staring at him. He says he backed up the road to keep from driving through them and that his transmission on his truck went out later that night. He knows that was connected to the dark figures.
I heard a story of the dark shapes as recently as last week. A person was introduced to me, because I am a willing listener to such stories and have achieved the dubious reputation as somewhat of a local authority on such matters. This family man lives in one of the new subdivisions to the area. He is a no-nonsense sort of guy, a level-headed businessman and pillar of his community and church. He confesses that he has driven through the dark shadows three times over the last two years, and it really shakes him up. He started making discreet inquires as to what the phenomena may be, and found his way to me. I was able to supply him with a possible answer. I think he believes it, too!
"You know," he told me, "A couple of times at night when I was sitting in my backyard, I have heard a horrible sound of animals fighting from that direction. It's odd because the sound fluctuates like it is riding on the wind, first soft then very loud. Oh, and it's an awful sound, too! It's not the sound of cats or dogs fighting; it's far worse and terrible. It is the sound of very vicious animals snarling and gurgling, fighting to the death."
I guess they still brawl.
I confess that I have driven that road day and night all my life and I have never seen anything, but I assure you, there are plenty that have - and still do! - Frank F. Baugh

BELMAR, N.J. (AP) -- A woman of Korean descent who claims a worker at a CVS in southern New Jersey used a phrase mocking Asians to identify her on a store receipt has filed a federal discrimination suit against the pharmacy chain, according to her lawyer.
Attorney Susan Lask said her client, Hyun Lee, was picking up photos Feb. 7 at a CVS in Egg Harbor City when Lee noticed an employee had identified her as "Ching Chong Lee" on the ticket.
Lee said through her attorney that she complained to CVS customer relations and was allegedly told the worker would be "counseled and trained."
"Store counseling cannot correct intolerable discrimination," Lask said in a written statement, adding they were demanding the worker be fired.
CVS Caremark Corp. spokesman Mike DeAngelis said the company does not comment on pending litigation but has a firm non-discrimination policy.
"CVS/pharmacy is committed to treating all of our customers with dignity and respect," he said.
The suit, which Lask said was filed April 16 in federal court in Camden, is seeking $1 million.
Lask planned to hold a news conference to announce the suit on Thursday.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Three former Target employees are suing the nation's second-largest discount chain for discrimination and retaliation, citing alleged racial slurs from managers and a training document that included stereotypical portrayals of Hispanics.
The lawsuit, filed recently in Northern California's Yolo County, says that workers who complained about the conditions at a distribution center in Woodland were fired.
The complaint alleges that white managers regularly used racial epithets when speaking with Hispanic workers.
Also, according to the complaint, the training document used negative stereotypes and stated: "Food: not everyone eats tacos and burritos; Music: not everyone dances to salsa; Dress: not everyone wears a sombrero; Mexicans (lower education level, some may be undocumented)."
It also stated that Hispanics "may say 'OK, OK' and pretend to understand, when they do not, just to save face."
Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder said she could not comment on the allegations in the lawsuit, because the Minneapolis-based company has not yet been served with the complaint.
She said the company doesn't "tolerate or condone discrimination in any form" and has policies and procedures in place to prevent unfair treatment.
The company, however, has apologized for the content of the training document. Snyder said in a statement that the instructional guide wasn't part of any "formal or company-wide training" and was only used at one distribution center.
"The content of the document referenced is not representative of who Target is," Snyder said. "We take accountability for its contents and are truly sorry."
Target Corp. is the nation's second-largest discount chain with 2013 revenue of $73.3 billion.
The lawsuit, filed June 24, seeks unspecified damages.

In the world of long-range luxury cruising, that moment has arrived with the launch of the majestic Maritimo M73. By far the biggest Maritimo, the new flagship actually measures almost 25 metres, with every centimetre dripping in luxury appointments and state-of-the-art technology. The flybridge alone is the size of a respectable cruiser and features every amenity you can imagine. But only when unleashed do you realise the M73 is built for action, not show. Designed with an advanced variable deadrise hull, engines and fuel tanks over the centre of buoyancy, and a miniscule shaft angle of just 9 degrees, the M73 cruises at 30 knots with effortless poise and balance - and uses less fuel as a result. Add to that all the signature features that have made Maritimo famous and you'll see why the world of long-range luxury motoryachts has a new benchmark. The Maritimo M73. It truly is oceans apart.

I'll say this about the Fry's parking lot: it is very non-standard in its various curves and lack of clarity as to walking lanes.

There is a rather large construction site currently active in the Fry's parking lot. So more information is needed to make any sense of this sad event.

Chris, ditto on the parking lot design. I'd have to say it's one of the worst parking lots in the area--right up there with Costco in Mountain View.

As cars have gotten bigger parking lots have gotten smaller, and more and more ridiculous ... not to mention that one person who has to park offcenter and cause a pain in the neck for everyone else parking in a given row or spaces sometimes for the whole day as people move in and out trying to be sure they can actually get out of their cars once they are lucky enough to be able to park.

It was an accident - a dump truck operator backed up and ran over a fellow worker.

I like to use the word "crash", or the word "injury", rather an "accident"; Since we don't know how it happened yet; and should describe what hit what and how.
Always be careful in large parking lots. Wish there were required parking spaces for large vehicles, since small/regular cars can't see very easily when a big van/truck is right next to you...how can you see to even try to back out!!
Saddest is when people are hurt of course.

It is just amazing to me how callous some posters are when commenting on this tragedy.
Parking lot design, debate about use of the term accident. Sheesh - a man died and this is the reaction posters have on a public online forum?
I understand folks have the right to be as non-compassionate as they wish in these forums but how about a moment of written respect for the victim of this tragedy, and his friends, family and co-workers. Even if you didn't know him, you can exercise your right to show some compassion in your postings.

First off- my sympathies to Mr. Loza's family.
Back up sounds are usually required on all commercial trucks, or at least have another worker standing by to give the all clear. Sounds like an OSHA violation.

How do you know the guy didn't fall? How do you know there was no back up lights or sirens. All you people wanna talk like you know the circumstances when your weren't there you sound ignorant. Bottom line someone passed away and his family's greiving should be the issue not who's fault it is. People should keep the useless comments to them selfs.

@wow - you're right, my apologies to Mr. Loza's family & friends. Please do keep in mind, though, that the first version of the article had virtually no details, nor did it say who the victim was or whether they were hurt or killed.
a resident of Palo Alto Hills
on Oct 27, 2011 at 9:02 am
"Santa Clara County Coroner identified the victim as Richard Loza, 64" I think its a shame that a man lost his life due to safe violations, Were was the traffic control when this happened? How was a 64 year old man hit by a semi? Did the Semi have any back up sensors? Sounds like this paving company had many violations and I hope Cal/OSHA gets to the bottom of this. My condolences to this mans family

Such a sad story. No matter what the reason was, he was probably someones Father or Grandfather. Thoughts go out to his family.
Hope OSHA looks long and hard into this situation sounds like the construction company has some major violations going on. @ John if the man "fell" and the construction company had the proper traffic control set up than someone would have been able to alert the truck driver to stop! Right....

@wow: your outrage about callousness is misplaced. As Chris notes above, the comments you are referring to were to an earlier version of this story that lacked all these details about the identity of the victim and the nature of an accident. Yesterday's original story only noted that someone died in an industrial accident in Fry's parking lot.

This is a sad story and my sympathies to the victim, his family and also to his coworkers and friends.
Whenever there is a serious accident it is necessary to discuss the details because it is from this discussion that changes can be made to prevent a similar accident in the future. Whether it be from carelessness, negligence, bad practice or parking lot design, it is necessary to look at all the possible reasons and learn from it.
An accident happening once is an accident. The same accident happening again is serious negligence.

A worker is dead, family/friends/co-workers are dealing with that pain. Another man is going to spend the rest of his life living with the fact he was operating a truck that took human life. Some people almost have the operator guilty of wrong doing already. How about waiting for investigation/report of the incident to be completed first.
I could not get over how many people posting on this article from the very start jumped right in with assumptions and who, what and why this incident took place. From a short on information, details and facts news story, some people just took what they wanted from the story and ran with it.
It's after reading the posts about this story that I see another example of how some people read something and take it at face value and or piece together their own conclusions and who is to blame.
Maybe this news agency will wait for the police report and report from OSHA to be completed and actualy do a follow up story? People who were no where near this incident should not start playing Monday morning lawyer and assigning responsibility. If nothing less hopefully the circumstances that led to this terrible death will be studied to make changes to possibly prevent this same type of thing from happening again. In the end it may have been just an example of one or several things adding up to a preventable or non preventable accident. Construction work has and will remain a work enviorment that causes deaths and injuries. People, noise, heavy machinery,tools, dust, mud, water, gas, etc etc etc are many peoples workplace. Try to reflect on this sad death of a construction worker the next time you are feeling delayed or impacted by a work project. I have been guilty of construction delays having me second guess the duration and need to wait or take another route, I hope I have learned from this.

Did you not read the story??? This incident is being investigated, ie the authorities are not finished with the investigation. We don't know what happened yet. The dump truck driver may or may not have fault in this. Maybe he had a spotter and the spotter failed to see person? maybe the man killed was the spotter? maybe the man killed walked, fell or stumbled under wheels while truck was moving? maybe multiple people were at fault? maybe nobody was to blame because it was an ACCIDENT? nobody including myself have no idea why or what exactly took place and we won't have a better idea until ALL the reports are completed. Even then they may never really know exactly what took place other than a man losing his life in a horrible way.

"Initial findings indicate that Loza, a paver for G&S Paving based out of Oakley, Calif., was hit by the truck as crews were cleaning " Guess he wasnt the spotter.... finding say he was a paver "Jake" try and read the story a little more clearer than you might get my point!
Yes, Jake there well be more investigation done and my guess is this driver/company will be at fault. I agree with "Frank" "if the man "fell" and the construction company had the proper traffic control set up than someone would have been able to alert the truck driver".
Just voicing my opinion on this tragic story but I would sure like to see Osha's report at the end of this.
Again my thoughts go out to this mans family.

Either it's an accident or it was intentional. Duh.

Just because the story lists man as "paver" does not mean he could not have been back up spotter for truck driver. Spotter is generaly somebody who keeps an eye out for hazards while equipment is backing up and assists driver. Not too many professional "Spotter" single function job titles out there in paving industry.

Does this company care about the public safety?
Heard that there was another accident with G & S Paving. From what I am being told the other day the owner was driving and an flipped his trailer while getting on the By-Pass in Brentwood. I read a few comments on eastcountytoday's Facebook from drivers that where there when it happened and they stated the driver didn't even slow down when taking the turn to get on the by pass. The driver also caused 2 vehicles crash
My uncle died on G & S jobsite one day my family will have the peace we need and truly know what happened that day. The owner told us only his hand was ran over by his 10 wheeler but yet his entire body was crushed

SAN FRANCISCO - Exactly two months since the court approved a negotiated desert grazing agreement between the Center for Biological Diversity, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), the Sierra Club and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the agency still has done nothing to comply with the consent decree to reduce livestock grazing on public land to protect the desert tortoise. After repeated failed attempts to get BLM to comply, the plaintiffs today filed a contempt motion against BLM with Judge William Alsup in federal court.
The carefully negotiated California Desert Conservation Area (CDCA) grazing settlement helps implement the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's 1994 Desert Tortoise Recovery Plan recommendations for livestock reduction and removal from critical habitat. Cattle and sheep mow down spring annual plants essential to tortoise health and reproduction. The hoofed livestock also trample burrows, killing tortoises inside or wrecking their homes. "The desert tortoise only has four months in which to eat all its going to eat for the year, and those months are now," said Elden Hughes, a longtime desert conservation champion with the Sierra Club.
"It's clear that Bush's Interior Secretary Gale Norton is kow-towing to the livestock industry by blocking on-the-ground action to reduce harm to the desert tortoise," said Daniel Patterson, the Center's Desert Ecologist who formerly worked with BLM in the Mojave desert. "We negotiated in good faith for a reasonable grazing settlement which BLM is ignoring." He adds, "We will not sit back while wildlife suffers as cattle industry and Bush Administration anti-environmental politics subvert a court ordered settlement."
The CDCA settlement was negotiated to aid desert tortoise recovery by preventing grazing on 285,381 acres of critical and 213,281 acres of essential tortoise habitat during biologically important spring and fall seasons (March 1-June 15 & Sept. 7-Nov. 7). The agency further agreed to allow no grazing year-round on an additional 11,079 acres of active allotments. BLM has blatantly ignored the March 1 deadline it agreed to in December.
BLM admitted in a March 20 memo to the Center that cattle are illegally grazing sensitive habitat on at least 504,441 acres across ten public land allotments in Kern, San Bernardino and Inyo counties where the agency had agreed to remove cattle to protect wildlife and water quality. "The allotments are not currently being monitored for compliance, certainly not for the lawsuit stipulation since proposed grazing decisions have not yet been issued," wrote BLM in the March 20 memo to the Center.
In January, the court carefully considered the objections of the less than ten affected public lands ranchers before approving the agreement as within the public interest and rejecting the rancher's objections as overblown.
"BLM's regulations authorize the agency to remove cattle from the public lands immediately when public natural resources, such as the desert tortoise, are threatened with significant harm," said plaintiff's attorney Jay Tutchton of Earthjustice. "It is inexplicable why BLM is refusing to act in compliance with the court's orders."
If the court finds the BLM to be in contempt, the court can impose a fine upon the BLM, imprison agency personnel or both to coerce compliance with its lawful orders.
